A graduate text and research reference to a new discipline concerned with quantifying the effect on a material's macroscopic response and eventual failure, of a diffuse ensemble of microcracks and other micro defects distributed over most of the material's volume. Emphasizes the stochastic and microscopic aspects of the problem that must be addressed in order to formulate a rational continuum model and set the conditions in which such a model is possible. Assumes a basic knowledge of fracture mechanics and at least some undergraduate level statistics. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
